    Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The hilly virgin rainforest, part of the Sri Lanka lowland rain forests ecoregion, was saved from the worst of commercial logging by its inaccessibility, and was designated a World Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and a World Heritage Site in 1988. The reserve's name translates as Kingdom of the Lion. The reserve is only 21 km (13 mi) from east to west, and a maximum of 7 km (4.3 mi) from north to south, but it is a treasure trove of endemic species, including trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Because of the dense vegetation, wildlife is not as easily seen as at dry-zone national parks such as Yala. There are about 3 elephants and the 15 or so leopards are rarely seen. The most common larger mammal is the endemic Purple-faced Langur.

      We had an exhilarating day exploring the lush greenery and vibrant wildlife tucked away in the rainforest. The highlight was definitely spotting the amazing flora and fauna, especially the unique birds that seemed to sing just for us. While the hike was a bit more challenging than we expected, it only added to the adventure, making it a trip we’ll always remember.

      Our experience exploring the rainforest near Bentota was invigorating and exceeded our expectations, thanks in part to the knowledgeable guide who brought the lush surroundings to life. The transportation was comfortable, although a bit cramped for the longer stretches, which made the journey feel longer than it needed to. Overall, we left with a deeper appreciation for the biodiversity of Sinharaja, even if there were moments when the humidity became overwhelming during our trek.
